Episode Summary

Anesthesia-induced hypotension is commonly treated with push dose vasopressors.

Today we dive into what the newest evidence is showing us about the use of phenylephrine, ephedrine, and norepinephrine IV bolus doses.

We talk about cerebral oxygen concentrations and cardiac output when administering these vasopressors and ultimately ask ourselves…should we be less pushy?
